Definitions
- the present invention relates to a projection display system, and more particularly, to a projection display system including a diffractive linear display device.
- a projection display system including a diffractive linear display device.
- the present invention is suitable for a wide scope of applications, it is particularly suitable for improving light use efficiency and enhancing brightness of a screen.
- a projection display system is a display system implementing a wide screen to display a wide image that is generated by projecting and enlarging a small image.
- An example of a conventional projection display system is an LCD (liquid crystal display) projection system that uses a lamp and an LCD.
- LCD liquid crystal display
- the switching response speed of the LCD is relatively low, which can create image artifacts when displaying a fast moving picture.
- the liquid crystal display device operates to render a dark pixel in response to an off value of the electrical signal
- the liquid crystal layer of the LCD display device generally is unable to completely block the light of the pixel that should not be illuminated. This dark state light leakage typically reduces the contrast of LCD projection display systems.
- Conventional LCD projection display devices typically include optical systems with color separation and combination systems that increase the complexity and overall size of the projection display devices.
- the high-temperature high-voltage lamp used as the light source can create safety concerns.
- the expected life span of the lamp is about 5,000 hours, conventional LCD projection systems are not well suited for use in televisions or other products that should have a long life span.
- the lamp has a wide spectrum of light, image color purity is reduced.
- a DMD digital micro-mirror device
- a GLV grating light valve
- the lamp can be replaced by an LED (light emitting diode), laser, or the like.
- the GLV which is a diffractive linear display device, has a configuration of 100 ⁇ 10,000 micro-ribbons formed by a semiconductor process.
- the GLV has a switching response speed much greater than that of the LCD, a contrast higher than that of the LCD and light efficiency better than that of the LCD.
- the GLV is more advantageous in implementing brighter images more naturally than the LCD.
- FIGS. 1A to 1C are diagrams of a GLV (grating light valve) of a conventional MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) reflective display device.
- a set of six ribbons 110 and 120 forms one pixel.
- the ribbons 110 and 120 are alternately arranged. In this case, operational ribbons 120 are moved by an electrode 130 , whereas fixed ribbons 110 are not moved by the electrode 130 .
- the grating light valve includes a linear array of pixels, or a pixel line. Each pixel in the linear array is formed by a set of six ribbons 110 and 120 , such as those shown in FIG. 1A .
- the number of pixels in the linear array of pixels of the grating light valve is generally equal to the number of pixels in one of the two dimensions of the projection display device that uses the grating light valve.
- the luminous intensity of the diffracted light can be modulated by adjusting the height of the displaced operational ribbons 120 or by selecting the time ratio of the up states to the down states of the operational ribbons 120 over a period of time.
- the GLV acts as a light modulator that adjusts the luminous intensity of the diffracted light.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram of a general projection display system employing the GLV shown in FIG. 1 .
- a light emitted from a light source 200 is irradiated as a linear light to a GLV 100 by a linear optical illumination system 300 .
- the light emitted from the light source 200 is a linear light in the sense that it is incident on the GLV 100 along a one-dimensional line that corresponds to the linear shape of the GLV 100 .
- the GLV 100 selectively diffracts the incident linear light to create a linear diffracted light.
- the GLV 100 operates in response to an electrical signal that encodes the image data that is to be displayed.
- the image is created in response to the electrical signal by adjusting the luminous intensity of the diffracted light of each pixel.
- the light diffracted by the GLV 100 is passed through a lens 400 and is scanned by a scanner 500 to effectively convert the one-dimensional array of pixels to a two-dimensional array of pixels of a screen 700 .
- a projection lens 600 enlarges the image to and projects the scanned light to the screen 700 .
- the diffracted light generated by the gratings of the GLV 100 includes a primary diffracted light mode, a secondary diffracted light mode, and higher-order diffracted light modes.
- Conventional grating light valves 100 use only the primary diffracted light mode, while the secondary diffracted light modes and the other higher-order diffracted light modes are lost. Hence, light use efficiency of conventional GLV projection display systems is relatively low.
- the secondary diffracted light modes and the higher-numbered diffracted light modes are scattered and affect the light path of the primary diffracted light mode, thereby degrading the contrast of the image.
- the present invention is directed to a projection display system that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- the projection display systems of the invention include a diffractive linear display device, such as a grating light valve, that modulates a linear light source by selectively diffracting the linear light in response to an electrical signal that encodes an image.
- the diffracted light generated by the diffractive linear display device includes a plurality of diffracted light modes, including a primary diffracted light mode and other odd-numbered modes which have most of the luminous intensity of the image.
- the projection display systems of the invention use substantially all of the light that is diffracted from the diffractive linear display device, including the primary diffractive light mode and higher-order odd-numbered diffracted light modes. As a result, the light use efficiency of the projection display systems can be significantly higher than the efficiencies experienced in prior art systems.
- the projection display systems of the invention absorb or otherwise filter out the secondary diffracted light mode and higher-order even-numbered diffracted light modes. This process reduces dark state leakage and improves the contrast of the images generated using the projection display systems of the invention compared to that which has been possible using prior art systems.
- FIGS. 1A to 1C are diagrams of a GLV (grating light valve) of a conventional MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) reflective display device;
- FIG. 2 is a diagram of a conventional projection display system employing the GLV shown in FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a diagram of a projection display system employing a diffractive linear display device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram that illustrates various aspects of the diffraction of light by a diffraction grating in a diffractive linear display device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are diagrams of a mode selection optical system of a projection display system according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram of a projection display system employing a diffractive linear display device according to the present invention.
- a projection display system includes a light source 200 , a linear optical illumination system 300 transforming a light emitted from the light source 200 into a thin linear light, a diffractive linear display device 100 that modulates the luminous intensity of the light by selectively diffracting the light projected from the linear light illumination system, a mode selection optical system 900 collecting light diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 according to the diffraction mode order of the diffracted light, a scanner 500 scanning a linear image projected from the mode selection optical system 900 , and a projection lens 600 that enlarges and projects the image scanned by the scanner 500 .
- the diffractive linear display device 100 is configured to modulate the luminous intensity by reflecting incident light when the data associated with the pixel corresponds to an off value (i.e., no voltage applied) or by diffracting the incident light with a diffraction grating when the data associated with the pixel corresponds to an on value (i.e., a voltage is applied).
- the diffractive linear display device 100 may include a GLV (grating light valve).
- the mode selection optical system 900 selectively transmits several diffracted light modes of various orders, respectively. In doing so, the mode selection optical system 900 improves light use efficiency and enhances contrast by using multiple modes of diffracted light.
- the diffractive linear display device 100 generates an image on a two-dimensional screen by forming an image of one line on the screen and by sequentially implementing an image on a neighboring line as the scanner 500 scans the linear image generated by the diffractive linear display device 100 .
- the operation of the above configured projection display system according to the present invention is explained with reference to the accompanying drawing as follows.
- the light emitted from the light source 200 passes through the linear light illumination system 300 so as to be transformed into a thin linear light.
- the transformed linear light is then reflected by a mirror 800 that is tilted at 45° with respect to the direction of the incident light, and is directed onto the diffractive linear display device 100 .
- the diffractive linear display device 100 then generates a linear image that corresponds to one line of pixels of the screen 700 .
- the diffractive linear display device 100 may include a GLV (grating light valve) or the like, for example.
- the diffractive linear display device 100 performs a different function in response to electrical signals that have an on or off value.
- the diffractive linear display device 100 acts as a mirror to reflect the incident light directly if the electrical signal is not applied thereto (i.e., the electrical signal has an off value). If the electrical signal is applied to the diffractive linear display device 100 (i.e., the electrical signal has an on value), the diffractive linear display device 100 forms a periodic diffraction grating to diffract the incident light.
- the light which is diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 to which the electrical signal is applied, is split into diffracted light modes of various orders according to the shape of the diffraction grating.
- the various light modes diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 propagate by specific angles such that they are incident on the mode selection optical system 900 that is situated at the next stage of the projection display system.
- the mode selection optical system 900 then selectively transmits the diffracted light according to the diffraction mode order of the diffracted light and propagates the selectively transmitted light to the scanner 500 .
- FIG. 4 is a diagram that illustrates aspects of light that has been diffracted by a diffraction grating in a diffractive linear display device according to the present invention.
- a diffraction grating includes N parallel slits that are spaced apart from each other with a pitch ‘h’ and forms a periodic grating.
- each of the slits has a width ‘b’.
- Equation 1 A wave function U p of a light diffracted at a point P is shown in Equation 1:
- Equation 2 A distribution I for the angle of the diffracted light is shown in Equation 2:
- band-type diffraction patterns appear in bright and dark regions on a plane that includes the point P and is orthogonal to the optical axis.
- a zero-order diffracted light mode among the light modes diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 corresponds to the light that is not diffracted.
- the zero-order mode represents the light that is reflected from the diffractive linear display device 100 in a direction parallel to the incident light and returns to the light source.
- the primary diffracted light mode has the greatest luminous intensity among the light modes diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 .
- the secondary diffracted light mode corresponds to the dark pattern immediately adjacent to the primary diffracted light mode.
- the diffracted light of the odd-numbered modes forms the bright pattern
- the diffracted light of the even-numbered modes forms the dark pattern.
- the luminous intensity of the diffracted light decreases.
- Conventional projection display devices use only the primary diffracted light mode and lose the luminous intensity associated with higher-order odd-numbered diffracted light modes. Moreover, in conventional projection display devices, the scattering of light causes a small amount of light to exist at the even-numbered modes of the dark regions of the diffracted light pattern. Accordingly, the contrast of the conventional projection display device is reduced.
- the mode selection optical system 900 is located at a position of the projection display device next to the diffractive linear display device 100 .
- substantially all of the odd-numbered diffracted light modes, which represent a first set of the diffracted light modes, are allowed to pass through the mode selection optical system 900 .
- even-numbered diffracted light modes, which represent a second set of the diffracted light modes are filtered out by the mode selection optical system 900 .
- the present invention can increase the light efficiency and can enhance the screen brightness and contrast.
- FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are diagrams of a mode selection optical system of a projection display system according to the present invention.
- a mode selection optical system of a projection display system according to the present invention includes a mask 950 having a diffraction grating including a plurality of parallel slits that are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined pitch by a plurality of lands. Each of the slits of the grating selectively transmits a particular diffraction mode order. Each of the lands of the grating selectively absorbs or otherwise filters out a particular diffraction mode order.
- the mode selection optical system further includes a lens 960 that collects the light that has been transmitted through the mask 950 according to the diffraction mode order.
- a zero-order diffracted light mode 910 that has been diffracted by the diffractive linear display device 100 is reflected by the mirror 800 and propagates back in the direction of the light source.
- the zero-order diffracted light mode 910 does not propagate toward the lens 960 .
- an opening, or slit, of the mask 950 is positioned in the direction of propagation of the primary diffracted light mode 920 .
- This slit of the mask 950 transmits the primary diffracted light mode 920 through the mode selection optical system 900 , which propagates to the scanner and other downstream components of the projection display system.
- a closed portion, or land, of the mask 950 is positioned in the direction of propagation of the secondary diffracted light mode 930 .
- This land of the mask 950 filters out or otherwise absorbs the secondary diffracted light mode 930 , such that it is not transmitted through the mode selection optical system 900 .
- another opening, or slit, of the mask 950 is positioned in the direction of propagation of the tertiary diffracted light mode 940 .
- This slit of the mask 950 transmits the tertiary diffracted light mode 940 through the mode selection optical system 900 , which propagates to the scanner and other downstream components of the projection display system.
- the mask 950 associated with the lens 960 that is positioned to correspond to the angles and directions of propagation of the diffracted light modes of the various orders is able to select the corresponding diffraction mode orders that are to be transmitted and filtered out.
